17 00 005 Draining and adding coolant (N74): Notes

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2016 BMW 760Li, 2015 BMW 760Li, 2014 BMW 760Li, 2013 BMW 760Li, and 2012 BMW 760Li. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING: Risk of scalding!
The repair work on the cooling system should only be carried out on an engine that has cooled down!
IMPORTANT: Lifetime coolant filling: 
Never reuse used coolant!
When replacing and removing components which rely on the corrosion protection effect of the coolant, it is essential to change the coolant. The cooling system must therefore be drained and refilled.
In the case of other removal work involving the draining of part quantities of coolant, replace these quantities which have been drained with new coolant.

Installation note: 

Use only recommended COOLANT .

Observe mixture ratio: 50% antifreeze and 50% water. In severely cold areas, the antifreeze can be increased to 60% which provides freezing protection down to-62°F (-52°C). Do not exceed a 60% ratio of antifreeze.
